I’ve had a few mishaps lately. Nothing serious, but annoying. I hurt my wrist,
requiring it to be in a sling.
And then I chipped a front tooth. No picture for that because I really hate
looking at my mouth right now. Anyway, guess how these injuries happened.
I was defending the world from evil aliens. After leaping over the nearest
baddy, I used my tablet to knock the worst alien unconscious. Sadly,the impact
of breaking his skull shattered my tablet, my current manuscript, and my wrist.
Aliens did it to me in my sleep. Yup, I just woke up one day and there was
a huge bump on my wrist.
Racquetball—I stepped too close to my opponent and his racquet slammed into
my wrist. Totally his fault!
Racquetball – I stepped too close to my opponent and his racquet slammed
into my wrist. Totally MY fault!
Carpal tunnel from writing so much, so fast. I’m an author on fire!
Answer: D – I really wish I’d been fighting aliens or writing so fast
that my wrist exploded. Sadly, the truth is that I was playing racquetball,
inched too close to my opponent, and got whacked. And yes—big sigh—it was
totally my fault. The good news is that the splint is off. No broken anything,
just a swollen bump that looks gnarly. On the upside, it’s my non-dominant hand,
so I can still play racquetball!
Next guess how I broke my tooth.
I was defending the world from evil aliens and got whacked in the mouth.
Another racquetball injury. Whacked myself in the mouth with my own
racquet. #NotMyBestMove
I was goofing around with my daughters. See how pretty they are, how
professional? Obviously they take after me. Seconds after taking this picture, I
walked into a pole and broke a tooth.
Desperate for chocolate, I bit into a half frozen brownie. Crunch
I was really getting into a scene I was writing and bit into my keyboard
thinking it was a brownie.
Answer: D – I really wish I’d been defending my world from evil aliens,
but sadly, no evil aliens have presented themselves for destruction. And despite
my wrist injury, racquetball was not the culprit this time. Nor was it a badly
placed pole, door, or keyboard. Nope. I was desperate for chocolate and wouldn’t
wait long enough to defrost it. *sigh*

Oh my goodness! I hate days like that! Nothing crazy happened to me recently (knock on wood)... but in the past I have chipped a front tooth, sliced a finger, broken a toe, hit my hand and had a golf ball size lump on it and much more... (Colleen Conklin 1:00pm May 4, 2016)
Wow! That's still not as bad as me. I tore three ligaments in my ankle just from stepping down off a block in the yard. My ankle rolled and i heard a snap. It too about 8 months of physical therapy. (I am not in good physical shape) To this day my husband says it's because I yelled at at the time. Karma. (Daniela Caldarola 10:31pm May 4, 2016)
My only recent mishaps have been the usual banging my shins into the corners of things. (Janie McGaugh 10:37pm May 5, 2016)
